Yerevan /Mediamax/. Former authorities of Armenia, headed by the
Ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosian, are preparing provocations and
civil collision during the pre-election campaign of the presidential
elections, candidate for the position of the Armenian President,
Leader of oppositional "National Unification" party Artashes Geghamian
said this in Yerevan today.
According to him, Levon Ter-Petrosian does not hope to become a
President again, since he will gain no more than 6% of votes during
the upcoming elections. "The first President, being a seasonal patriot
of his country, intentionally spoils the pre-election atmosphere
in Armenia and after the elections, most likely, will change his
citizenship", Geghamian stressed.
He noted that the speeches of the first President during the rallies
consisted of direct calls for violent shift of power, which can provoke
unpredictable and serious consequences. Geghamian urged the citizens
of Armenia to refrain from participating in mass actions, capable
of becoming a perquisite for provocations by Ter-Petrosian's team,
"which has the corresponding experience from the beginning of 90s".
The oppositional politician admitted that in the course of the
four-hour meeting with Levon Ter-Petrosian on September 3, an agreement
was reached on preservation of mutual correctness in the process of
the election campaign.
"Despite this, already in the course of over 2 weeks, there is an
unceasing flow of "black PR" against me from the pages of the media
under the Ex-President's control", he stated.
According to him, the very regime of Ter-Petrosian is behind the
notorious murders of the beginning of 90s. At that, Artashes Geghamian
condemned the explosion, which took place last night near the editorial
office of the oppositional "Chorord Ishkhanutiun" ("Fourth Power")
newspaper under the control of the Ex-President's entourage.
